Internal links

Internal link checks make sure the page connects to the right next pages.

Page Writer can help review link ideas inside the markdown file. The live on-page check can also show internal link counts after the page is published.

Start with the reader journey.

Ask what the reader needs after this page. If the page explains a problem, link to the solution page. If it explains a feature, link to setup or proof. If it compares options, link to the main product page and a deeper guide.

Link issues usually live in the body copy.

Sometimes the link target is missing. In that case, create a planned page in the sitemap instead of forcing a weak link. Sometimes the target exists, but the current page does not point to it yet.

## Internal link notes

- Link to analytics when explaining prompt results.
- Link to sitemap when explaining planned pages.
- Link to Page Writer when explaining page editing.

Ask CLEA to check whether the link is useful.

Do not ask only for more links. Ask for better links.

Open the target pages before approving important links.

The link should point to a page that actually supports the sentence around it.
